Släpp formen fri – Bokstavsklubben

Abstract

This project has gone by the name “Release the form” and later on got the subheading “The Letter Club”. The purpose of the project has been to explore various playful methods that generate letter-forms and make this available for other future graphic designers. The personal aim in this project has been to approach typography in an enjoyable way. The methods have been explored by inviting other people in to the process by designing different workshops, both with children and other design-students at HDK-Valand. The project resulted in a concept called “Bokstavsklubben”, a club for students at HDK-Valand that are interested in exploring typography with others. In this concept a club-kit has been designed with a clubmagazine and letter-stencils, intended to be available in the school-library at HDK-Valand. The intention of the club-magazine is to inspire the making of letterforms and giving examples of how you can use the stencils, both by yourself and within the club. The concept of the club should be seen as a beginning of a structure to be continued with and the magazine as a stepping stone, a future school paper that could be run by and with other graphic interested students at HDK-Valand.
